For Abplanalp, it is a return to Swiss-Ski, having previously been the women's speed coach between 2004 and 2012 and coached the C squad for one season in 2015. This was followed by stints with foreign teams such as Norway and the USA. Most recently, the 51-year-old from the Bernese Oberland worked as a pundit for Swiss television.
After twelve years in the World Cup as a speed group coach, Roland Platzer has decided to take on a new challenge within the association. The 46-year-old South Tyrolean will take over the women's European Cup speed group.
